does anyone have an "interesting" method of climbing the pole with their minibot?

Our minibot (nicknamed "Chippy") has 2 direct-drive wheels and 2 free-wheels. To climb the pole, Chippy is angled so the direct-drive can pull itself onto the pole and stay on. Right now the direct-drive is on the top half of Chippy (will be changed so one of direct-drive wheels is on the bottom half of the bot.
P.S. It IS named after Chippy from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job

You'll likely have more hope of getting a response if you post back in the FRC forums. Most people around here aren't building mini-bots. (Excepting the dedicated souls who are doing FTC and FRC...)
